FILI || Refined Elegance in Moscow: A Study of Light, Texture, and Design
A sophisticated retreat spanning 320 square meters, this two-level penthouse apartment by Kerimov Architects redefines understated luxury.
Nestled in a prestigious Moscow district near a national park and the serene Moscow River, the residence strikes a harmonious balance between natural materiality and modern refinement.
The floating staircase, framed by warm wood paneling and accentuated with concealed lighting, serves as a sculptural centerpiece.
The Arte Veneziana glass partition introduces a delicate interplay of transparency and texture, defining the space without disrupting the flow of the living space.
The interior's bright palette is a canvas for bespoke design elements, including sculptural furniture and an architecturally stunning staircase. The integrated cabinetry seamlessly merges form with function, while the second floor is adorned with uniquely contoured windows, framing views of the surrounding landscape. Each corner of the home is designed to celebrate light, texture, and subtle artistic expression.
Kerimov Architects’ design philosophy thrives in this project, focusing on the synergy between natural materials and iconic interior items. The result avoids the sterility often associated with minimalism, replacing it with warmth and depth. The standout Arte Veneziana partition artfully divides the home office from the secondary living space, creating a dialogue between functionality and artistry. The concealed kitchen transforms from discreet utility to a vibrant sculptural feature, complemented by a marble dining table that anchors the dining area.
The bathroom, with its travertine surfaces and coloured fixtures, is a testament to curated detail. The tinted mirrors integrated into shelving and cabinetry enhance the spatial depth, reflecting light to create an ever-changing interplay of brightness and shadow.
Art adds a sensual touch to the living space, carefully chosen to complement rather than overpower the design. These pieces, like the interior itself, reflect a restrained elegance—a quiet sophistication that invites contemplation.
Kerimov Architects have crafted more than a home; they have created an immersive experience. This project exemplifies their commitment to a design philosophy where every element serves a purpose, contributing to an environment that feels timeless yet contemporary.
